.5" extra drop for anything made for a coupe. 1" extra for anything made for a Z.

.5" extra for anything for a sedan WHEN used on an X.

I explain this too much.

I would, it gives u a slightly bigger drop and I think this springs won't be so harsh on your struts as the Z springs

the effect on the struts depends on the spring rates.

most of the springs out there will have stiffer spring rates than the oem springs, so ur struts will wear out faster. You could also buy aftermarket struts along with springs. But i dont think its really worth it. Do it right the first time, get coilovers!

i wish i had the money for coilovers... so basically, it would be smarter to stick with OEM z springs if i am not going to switch my struts too?..(i have the sport-tuned suspension).. and go aftermarket if i do both together?

btw 4Dr. Madness, i f**kn love what youve done with your sedan, B-E-A-utiful

Thanks bro! Im getting a new kit as we speak so it will be a new look.
If you have a sport tuned suspension, then just get z springs, and call it a day. The cheapest and the best way to do it. You dont have to worry about getting struts as u have a sport setup already.

That's what I'm riding on, but I'm not quite as low as you are. Nice drop BTW, I like it... gives me ideas.

Once I get my wheels and tires squared away, I might think about taking the G autocrossing, then picking up a set of these and autocrossing again for comparison sake. I like the car being low, but honestly, I'm more interested in the handling
